in 2 minutes, i am now a MASSIVE fan of Josh Bryceland, seems like SUCH a chill bloke and his smile in that photo, tell he loves the fuck outta riding bikes with the gang, awesome.
Kyle strait racing in Wales on a Vitus how cool is that. Nobody would have predicted that a few years ago. It's a shame weather fucked it . I would have loved to see how he would do
Amazing combination Yes! Ah, alas! It would have been great to see him on track racing with the other riders. Not sure how I’m going to wait until next year 😭 ~ Will
Rob Warner, legendary dude. I feel the Pivot is a step in the right direction. It looks like the manufacturers are pushing carbon 29ers, but the DH riders are saying look, Aluminium 275 are better, so we will run both at the same time! Note how anything that needs to be strong, i.e. rear wheel, and BB head tube areas, all aluminium. and the rear wheel needs acceleration the most so its a 275, totally makes sense and is a great design. Never know our luck, maybe 29er Carbons will finally die out. hope so.
He's the real deal, pretty cool that he left the sunny American weather for the Dyfi Valley. He took the greasy Welsh gnar in stride. Super impressive! ~ Will
put the fastest full run in on the race day just before cancellation. I think there was only one other rider that dared put one in and he only followed Bernard after blocking his path in the forest.
Great question! As this is a DH race rather than a freeride event, they're all running 29/27.5" mullets, just like you would find at a World Cup. Thanks for asking! ~ Will

We needed a freaking Ladaman review! Looks like he's running a mullet to me.
Definitely quick in the corners from what I could see!

Hardline never fails to reveal some brand new top notch bikes! But which were your favourites in 2023? 🤔
robs bike is op😅
Thermoplastic is fantastic 😍
Rob is a legend 👊🏻
So Kenda making a come back to the DH scene. They were totally underrated and I can't wait to get my hands on some again.
I lived my excavators. So much i took em off before they were cooked incase i ever wanna go back. Cant seem to find em.
@@KarstRats I had the Excavators too, I swear the maxxis I have on there now are not as good.
@@spaggtrait1608 thats why i saved them while i still could lol.

Rob is such a character! He really has a passion for all things with engines (as well as two wheels).
~ Will

Kyle Strait is such a cool guy! Nice memories from NWD!
Totally agree. He started competing in the Red Bull Rampage at age 14, that says it all. Legend. Cheers

Nigel Thornberry is at red bull hardline, legend!
😂 Where!? 🥸

You can hear how devastated Bernard is - ok I am assuming it but I'm pretty sure im right

Lada is just preparing the landings for next years race...
Are they running 27.5/26 or 29/27.5 mullets?

I wonder how Josh managed to increace the travel of Jekyll to 175mm form 165mm
Well with a custom link, as he said...

@@bikeradar thats super sick! Thanks man, have a good one
In this video i see my biggest indecision: Cura 4 or Dominion A4 ?????
Both great brakes systems, head to BikeRadar to see the low-down: www.bikeradar.com/reviews/components/brakes/disc-brake-systems
looks like pivot is copying atherton's frame design. hmmm.... I wonder if we will see more follow suit?
Weird Matt was riding his Marin...his sponsor his bro might have been riding the Propain but defo not Matt
Man I'd love to race this .
The Pivot prototype? Or the Hardline race?
